Ernest Michel, the noted French
traveller, who has just made trip
around the world in 240 days, says
that this journey may now be
made much more cheaply and com
fortably than "a few years ago, and
that transportation facilities on sea
and land have so greatly improved
that even this limited time affords
many advantages for study and de-
liberate sightseeing. AS for the ex-
penses, he says that the journey
around the world can be comfortably
made by those who know how to
travel at a cost of So day. For
$4,000 he says, the trip can be made
with the greatest comfort. His esti-
mate, however, does not leave much
margin for the purchase of knick-
knacks and souvenirs of the journey.

An old army sugeon, V. &. Miller.
says he cured case OF hydrophobia
by administering chloroform to the
rabid patient every time the spasm
came on. He saturated cloth with
the liquid and placed it to the pa
ticnts's nose and mouth and quieted
him, and repeated this application AT
every spasm, until he used up three
pounds Of chloroform, working all
night. Next morning the patient
went TO sleep, but when he awaken
ed, he acted like person dazed, sh-
my, stringy secretion ran from his
mouth continually. He gradually
grew better and lived eight years,
dying finally with consumption.

Brady's guano bill, to allow farm
ers to plead failure of consideration
after the State inspectors have ana
lyzed and tagged guano, is exciting a
good deal Of interest in the Legisla-
ture and among guano dealers. 1t
seems to us that there wouldn't be
any use for inspectors if such a bill
should pass. The best way to do is
TO abolish all laws on the subject and
sell guano on its merits like any
other article of commerce.

"Southerners and Northerners, :"
say 8 the New York Herald, "are one
people with a mighty future before
them, and there is no earthly reason
for sectional irritation. Northern
capital and Southern enterprises are
being hitched to the same team to
draw wealth out Of the ground. And
when we are engaged in the honest
rivalries of business the man who
tries to set the peoples teeth on

American nor patriot. lie is ia

The Galveston News is authority
for the statement that in 1880 there
were only about 500 miles of railway
in Mexico, while by the close OF the
present year there will be over 5000,
with capital of about sl20,000,00O

700 miles are owned and operated

A Wholesaler Objects.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The Journals question of what has be-
come of the proposition to require
wholesale liquor dealers and brewers to
take out license same as the saloons,
and making comparison between the
hOrSethief and the millionaire defaulter,
and taking the stand a. gainst the whole
saler and brewer, is most ridiculous.
That so able journalist should be so
blind to the interest of branch of our
jObbing business shows that when one
becomes fanatic his mind does not rea-
son. Allow me to ask my respected
friend, whether he would think as he
does now if our legislature saw fit to tax
our newspapers in the state of
Minnesota $1,000 for the privilege of
doing business, and outside newspapers
printed in other states could come in
here and sell their papers and take adj
vertisements without paying one cent;
an example of the position the whole
salel liquor dealer and brewer would
be in if the law was enforced, which the
Journal advocates. Wholesale liquor
dealers and brewers of our city and
state, who bear their share of taxes, and
who never stand back and have always
their hands in their pockets ready to
contribute to anything which adds to
the welfare of our city and state, they
would have to stand back for privileged
ones from other states, who would have
the right to sell at our very doors with
out one cent cost, while we that help
sustain the state would have to pay
1000. If that is justice / fail to see it.

SAMPLE SALVATION.
An Every Night Scene at the Main

After being G0d-bleSSed to the tune of
so cents by three very pretty maidens,
an operation not at all to be objected to,
a GLOBE reporter succeeded in gaining
admittance to the meeting of the Saliva
ton army held last night in the bar
racks, Bridge square. There was a
crowded attendance and enthusiasm
ran high. If any one has a!y doubts as
to the meaning of hustler, get there, Vi
vaciouS, let him visit the Salvation
army when Mrs. Capt. AScherman leads
the services, for she is a combination of
all three expressions. She lead the
songs assisted by two lady cadets whose
movements were pretty lively both with
their feet and hands. Tambourines
were played and feet danced upon the
stage. An old man with very striking
face made an equally striking speech i'll
which he said he did not try to love his
mother, but when he met her he would
kiss her and greet her in such way
there was no try about it and thus
should we love Jesus, who died for our
salvation. He ended up with the fol-
lowing striking expression: His life
flowed on in endless song" The
addresses are interspersed with music
of lively nature. one hymn being set

A few exhibitors, more industrious or
less godly than their neighbors, were to

work to be done than that of any other

RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS.
An Interesting Sermon by Rev.
Frank X. Millspaugh.

jeremiah XXI, 90: 1.-The fathers
have eaten a sour grape and the chill
dren's teeth are set on edge" The fol-
lowing is the application of a sermon on
this text by the rector of st. Paul's
church, Frank r. Millspaugh. Fathers
of the present day will rise early
lest they ply without ceasing at
laboriouS occupations, and the
of muscle shall be devoted to like
prodigality to uphold a family in Suffi-
cheney and obtain the means of
fortune and independence. 1t may
never occur to these fathers that if they
so indulge the passion of accumulation
as to become the slaves of cOvetOuSneSS,
or if they so engrOSS themselves with
business as to leave comparatively no
time for the church, private devOtiOnS
and religious work, or If the resolve to
be rich induces them to depart from
high-tOned rectitude and to carry on
trade with those underhand tricks by
which it is often deformed, it may
never, we fear, occur to them
that in their zeal for their
children's welfare, they may be stOr-
ing up for their calamity. And that
with every dollar they lay by, they

their own death shall than struggle into
life and gnaw at the core of the family
happiness. If the consequences of sin
were confined to yourselves you
might resolve to run the risk of avari-
ciousnesS, be neglectful of religion, or
be mean or disreputable in busi-
ness, so that property might. at
all events, be secured to your heirs.
But God has ordained that wickedness
shall defeat its own end, and may allow
you to heap up wealth, but He puts the
stamp of His anger on the silver and
the gold, and the nothing which the
godly poor man has to leave will be
better inheritance than the Golfers of
ingots on which were impressed the
stamp of the Lords Indignation.
Would you save the chill
dren from having their teeth set on edge
take heed that you eat not the sour
grape yourselves. You may be sure
that you consult best for your families
when you consult most your own souls.
Be persuaded then by love to your chill
dren, as well as by love to yourselves,to to
deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. and
to live soberly, religiously and Cody in
the world. The noblest possession
which your children can have when you
are coffined and hearsed will he the
memory of your piety.
